A tempered glass side panel for my Thermaltake Core V51 Riing Edition. The green side panel has annoyed me for a while. Also got an additional 120mm green Riing fan and three 256-color LED strips for said case. I NEED RGB

In a strange twist of fate, TWO additional Thermaltake Core v21 cases.
Canon S120 for the 'Youtube production studio' - My old 110 HS is just about dead

Another used Dell Vostro 260 / Inspiron 620 mATX motherboard to plop that extra 2500k into

So the current plan is to build a second machine with the above parts to stack on my current rig and use for video rendering so I won't have to tie up my main rig. When I'm rendering a video in Sony Vegas you pretty much can't do anything else. Even watching a Youtube video requires going into task manager and lowering Vegas' priority to free up CPU slices.

The guy with the GTX 780 just told me he threw some sticks of Corsair DDR3 into the package too, if they work that almost completes the build!

I 3D printed a tulip lens hood for the 18-55mm lens that came with the camera, but it got stuck on, to the point that I damaged the assembly trying to take it off. The damn thing rattles when you shake it, which ain't great. Given that the 18-55 was the only one I had, I've been without a lens since September. Mia's birthday party is coming up, I needed a lens, and I figured I should just use the opportunity to get a couple more camera things.

Also, I've been wanting to get the Plex pass for a while. Thinking I'm going to snag a capture card and antenna as well to take advantage of the live TV/DVR functionality of Plex.

I am testing a monthly Plex pass to sync movies to my phone for my commute. Works great so far. I do however need more friends on Plex

I broke a blade off one of my 140mm Riing fans while I was trying to reinstall my fan controller. That's what I get for installing the fan controller while, you know, the computer's on. Oh well. Snagged a replacement. Should be here tomorrow.
